our mission 

At Thrive, it is our mission to utilize tennis as a therapeutic model to positively impact the health and wellness of individuals and our community.  Our goal is to allow anyone to be able to enjoy and benefit physically and mentally from the sport of tennis. 

Thrive is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

We currently offer 5 programs:

For adult and youth with different abilities, we offer both ADAPTIVE TENNIS and EXERCISE and WHEELCHAIR PICKLEBALL and TENNIS programs.

Our PARKINSON'S TENNIS and FITNESS is comprised of an exercise session specifically designed to help rigidity, bradykinesia, coordination and balance, followed by on court tennis instruction and play.

Our HOMESCHOOL TENNIS ACADEMY enables homeschooled children ages 5 and older to learn and continue to develop tennis skills.  

GIRL POWER was created to teach life skills through fun and interactive programming.

We are committed to creating an accessible and inclusive environment for all individuals, regardless of ability, background, or identity. If you require any accommodations to fully participate in our programs or services, please contact Mary at 440-838-5600 to discuss your needs. We will work collaboratively to provide reasonable adjustments to ensure your equal access and participation.
